2007 Sudirman Cup - Day 6 - Saturday - Semifinal

[keanny]

yes yes.. INA must win.. i love greysia polii! gahar bo!

[tommy_bun]

does anyone know the head to head between vita/polii and kelog/emms ?

Vita/polii won all england 2007 by 21-18,21-18 and swiss ss 21-15,21-15

[badMania]

We all know that the XD can go either way....while ENG holds an edge in WS, so, most of us have already predicted that by this time, INA will be trailing 1-2.

[DoublesPlayer]

Can't agree more with you, ctjcad :)

It's 2 - 1 now, WD will be tense ... at least I'm nervous ... ha ha ha :)


..well, no one, at least most people, predicted Maria would win...I certainly did not, but at least she got a good taste of what high pressure competition/situation is all about..I think it's partially mental(she wouldn't have gotten those leads in the last 2 sets and wouldn't have won the 1st set without some fight) and partially experience(couldn't close out the last 2 sets)...She showed she's a battler, at least..;)
Btw, good to hear from you again, DoublesPlayer..;):)

[huangkwokhau]

2-0 for Greysia/Vita.
Hope the nerve will not get to INA WD...otherwise....:mad::mad:

[Juicetalk]

cctv5 cmg up with WD next

[Krisna]

We all know that the XD can go either way....while ENG holds an edge in WS, so, most of us have already predicted that by this time, INA will be trailing 1-2.

[keanny]

[huangkwokhau]

[tommy_bun]

cmon gail/donna....

[bananaboy]

Gail and Donna are going to win this...

Logical reason: The momentum is still on England side, and having that dream of making it to the Sudirman cup final is definitely going to motivate the English team to go one step above their usual game play.:cool:

Other reason: Gail and Donna are much better looking than their opponents.:p

[Bao]

NERVEOUS BO" jangan sampe deh INA KALAH, its not FUNNY LITTLE THING

[DoublesPlayer]

Vita Marissa is so deceptive ... she is good :)

[keanny]

yeap.. pls dont let this game won by england.. 会很丢脸的

Gail and Donna are going to win this...

I can agree on your last point only! :p Beyond that, I would say Greysia-Vita will make it 2-2 for INA!

It is our destiny... to loose to China 0-3 or 1-3 in the FINALS... :o:p

[Bao]

last 1 point, Ayoooo Indonesiaaaaaaaaaaa

[keanny]

i think both of them are good.. they both are playing so well.. marissa is so deceptive.. and polii is so semangat gitu hihi

[kwun]

Kellogg on the other hand, seems to be playing worse and worse. many mistakes from her.

[demolidor]

Okay WD in the pocket as expected :cool:. In a way INA have to win because ENG can (un)realistically only win 2 matches against CHN whilst INA could (un)realistically win 3 ;).

[kwun]

who is better? Polii or marissa??

greysia, she can do jumpsmash. but she is also a couple of inch shorter than Vita..

[keanny]

yesssssss we wonnnnnnnnnn!!! women ying leeeeeeeee... kita menank coyyyyyyyy

[huangkwokhau]

2-2 now..YES!!! YES!!

[Bao]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Now Is 2-2
Great Indonesiaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[irian]

Good, now I want to see Chandra/Kido...

[keanny]

im so doing standing applause for greysia and marissa =) cheers...

[huangkwokhau]

greysia, she can do jumpsmash. but she is also a couple of inch shorter than Vita..

yes...she plays like a man..I heard...good that she is good....she is young....INDO women are in the slump.....

[kwun]

INA takes the match.

now ENG 2-2 INA.

MD will be the decider. nice. :)

Greysia and Vita are nice to watch, good attitude and fighting spirit.

[Bao]

yesssssss we wonnnnnnnnnn!!! women ying leeeeeeeee... kita menank coyyyyyyyy

ANJRIT, INDONESIA BANGET LU, yeaaaahhhhh GREAT INDONESIAAAAAAAAAA

[keanny]

too bad kristin lost to terasi.. i think she played well too.. anyone agree?

[mcchooi]

may i ask where are you guys watching the live webcast? i'm really frustrated BBC UK is not showing it! the event is being held in the UK and the main broadcaster is not even interested! :crying:

[Bao]

weits, I'm moslem , I should say ALHAMDULILLAH

[huangkwokhau]

I am nervous with this INA MD....they have not played together before....

[irian]

Any background information, why chandra will play with Kido?

[kwun]

one more time everybody.

WRITE IN ENGLISH ONLY.

[huangkwokhau]

too bad kristin lost to terasi.. i think she played well too.. anyone agree?
YES..but she need to learn to how to finish the points....may be she was nervous......so sad!!! otherwise it is over now

[keanny]

whahaha.. yeapp.. still.. indo pride bow.. although IF we manage to get into the final tomorrow, we might still lose to china.. but hope that our players will still play a good game.. and still.. pray for them .. sapa tau juara hihi

[badMania]

An impressive display from Greysia Polii/Vita Marissa as they beat the England pair Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg once again in straight sets 21-18, 21-16 to level the score at 2-2. Greysia Polii is especially fired up with her attacking prowess!

Oh...and the CCTV commentators (including Guo Zhendong) were so wrong when they mentioned that the head-to-head record is 0-2 to England :cool:

Now...as early anticipated, the deciding match between Candra Wijaya/Markis Kido and Anthony Clark/Robert Blair. With Candra included, I think there is a higher chance for INA to take this tie.

[DoublesPlayer]

Greysia plays like Markis ... very explosive :) ... congrats Greysia/Vita ... you both are good :) ... not MD ... the decider ... come on Candra/Markis ... the new pair.

[mcchooi]

may i ask where are you guys watching the live webcast? i'm really frustrated BBC UK is not showing it! the event is being held in the UK and the main broadcaster is not even interested! :crying:

[Bao]

Any background information, why chandra will play with Kido?

due to lack of victory of LULUK Hadiyanto/ALVENT YUlianto, PBSI decide to call back CHANDRA to PELATNAS, and now paired with ALVENT, and they get good result in previous GROUP stage

[DoublesPlayer]

I'm watching CCTV-5 on TVANTS streaming ... very good quality ... :)


may i ask where are you guys watching the live webcast? i'm really frustrated BBC UK is not showing it! the event is being held in the UK and the main broadcaster is not even interested! :crying:

[keanny]

yea im wondering too why INA MD always mix and match players?

[shenron]

mcchoi...you could view the telecast by going to this link --> http://s.sohu.com/ .... just click 'yes' when it ask for anything.

[tommy_bun]

Clark/Blair dont make me pengsan here

[cooler]

Any background information, why chandra will play with Kido?

because setiwan is not so good:p

[mcchooi]

I'm watching CCTV-5 on TVANTS streaming ... very good quality ... :)

thanks for the info...i'm trying feidian at the mo...if that doesn't work...i'll have to borrow the recorded version from my friend...

[badMania]

Reason: Kido/Hendra do not have a good record against Clark/Blair.
Fielding Candra will be reasonable. Kido will be controlling the attack.

[Bao]

due to lack of victory of LULUK Hadiyanto/ALVENT YUlianto, PBSI decide to call back CHANDRA to PELATNAS, and now paired with ALVENT, and they get good result in previous GROUP stage

ooooooooooooops any mistake I THINK, paired with KIDO? I'm sory ive no idea

[DoublesPlayer]

Markis/Hendra has bad records against ENG pair, that's why they are playing Markis with Candra ... it must be Christian Hadinata's idea ... he's good at this kind of strategy ...

yea im wondering too why INA MD always mix and match players?

[keanny]

boo.. then i must say i want u to faint, tommy_bun -.- becoz i dont wanna faint..

[freelast]

where is Setiawan Hendra (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=15280&player=1036)? Retired?

[DoublesPlayer]

He's there, watching. He may play again in the final, if INA makes it to final.


where is Setiawan Hendra (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=15280&player=1036)? Retired?

[keanny]

owh.. do we assume that any INA MD players will play equally well with anybody/

[badMania]

Again, the commentator got the info wrong. Kido IS NOT BORN in the year 1979! Check your record properly....:cool:

[huangkwokhau]

mcchoi...you could view the telecast by going to this link --> http://s.sohu.com/ .... just click 'yes' when it ask for anything.
they are all in chinese...I do not know where to click YES in chinese.....:crying::crying:

[badboypedi]

come on, england make it!!!

[DoublesPlayer]

Well ... not really, but Candra is exception, the same with Tony, Rexy, Ricky, etc ... we'll see if this strategy works or not

owh.. do we assume that any INA MD players will play equally well with anybody/

[kwun]

so the spot for the final will be decided by the last match MD. this is a treat to us badminton fans.

pressure is on INA as MD is their specialty, they simply cannot lose this.

[keanny]

but it's 5-1 so far.. for eng>.<

[DoublesPlayer]

Time to watch the game now ... enjoy everyone, it will be very interesting

[huangkwokhau]

5-1 now for ENG....

[keanny]

for MD: indonesians are more handsome than blair/clark hihi

[huangkwokhau]

6-3 now ..still for ENG....

[keanny]

7-5 now.. still for eng.. indonesians are liao bu qi la..

[samuel882]

INDO did learn mix and match for MD pair frm REXY Strategy...

[samuel882]

chandra is a great smasher...

[keanny]

9-9!! go go go...

[huangkwokhau]

[huangkwokhau]

Yes..11-10..for INA..first time to lead..

[keanny]

[samuel882]

[tommy_bun]

btw im lookn forward for tommy sugiarto.. when do u guys think will he be a great player?

Looking forward for tommy bun????

[kwun]

[DoublesPlayer]

[Bao]

Alhamdulillah, Gw Gtg Dulu Ya

[kwun]

awesome last match. Kido and Candra played really well and consistent throughout hte match.

ENG started off really well but made a lot more mistakes after 2nd game interval, esp from Clark. they must have spent too much energy smashing non-stop.

look forward to INA vs. CHN tomorrow.

[cooler]

BTW BESOK MULAINYA JAM BRAPA YAH?

Candra is too good, he controlled the game, he ruled ... Markis is good too.

Wow...an excellent finish to a great semi-final tie this morning (HKG time).
Eventually, as most of us have predicted, INA prevails after beating ENG 3-2...but not without scares. In the last match of a long day, the scratch pairing of Candra Wijaya/Markis Kido beat Anthony Clark/Robert Blair 21-17, 21-14.

As kwun mentioned, the ENG pair looked okay in the beginning, esp in the first set until the points were shared at 16-16. Then, the INA pair started to increase their tempo and went on another gear to make it 19-16, 19-17 and then 2 last points to finish off the first set.

In the second set, the INA pair raced off to a 3-0 set, only for the ENG pair to regain their momentum with 5 straight points to lead 5-3. From then on, it was all INA....with Kido's smashes and Candra's intelligent plays, they led 11-7 at the interval, and shortly after 19-12. The ENG pair got their 2 last points before Candra/Kido finished them off 21-14.

Cue jubilation all around the INA camp...and the target of yet reaching the Final of Sudirman Cup is miraclously achieved yet again :rolleyes:

The players will have nothing to lose against Team China tomorrow.
